So this is the first proper full length by YLT that I own and what a difference from the previous releases. The album holds pretty well together - normally the vocals with this band can take its toll with my attention span, but not on this release. The songs are still somewhat sparse, but it seems now they have a purpose too. I think Jack just doesn't like trios. Plus you have to love a song called 'Little Honda'. And 'Spec Bebop' is slightly brilliant.
